Re: [reSIProcate] TLS handshake failure


I do not think it was doing the correct thing. For a TlsTransport that
was created with a domain, it was not presenting the right certificate
when acting as a client.

I changed some code in there so that the certificate and key are 'used'
for a client and my TLS handshake issues are solved now. 

By the way, once resip establishes a TLS connection to a remote side,
1) How long is the connection kept around?
2) Under what conditions does resip disconnect?
3) Is it like: "Connect, Send SIP message, Disconnect" ?

Thanks
